Grind TV has a nice article about our breaching great white sharks at Guadalupe Island.
It's nice to see that the media has caught on to the fact that great white sharks are not only breaching in South Africa. Thank you Pete Thomas for a nice article and for mentioning Shark Diver.
Pete Thomas writes:Gerardo del Villar posted video clip to Facebook and YouTube this past week, and linked to a Spanish-language blog post about the island’s white sharks, which rarely breach, and for reasons that are unclear.
However, Shark Diver’s Martin Graf,
whose company pioneered shark diving at Guadalupe Island, said that
often it’s the smaller sharks that breach. The larger sharks are the
dominant predators.
Said Graf: “There’s no rhyme or reason to it. Usually they breach without any chum or hang-baits in the water. Early morning and dusk seem to be their preferred times, but it can happen anytime.”
Del Villar suggested that Guadalupe’s
breaching sharks could be trying to establish dominance in the presence
of other sharks, or to remove parasites.
Said Graf: “There’s no rhyme or reason to it. Usually they breach without any chum or hang-baits in the water. Early morning and dusk seem to be their preferred times, but it can happen anytime.”
